What foam is everbody running stock or ???????

I'm running the stock foam in a 7 1/2 # scaler rig IMO its too soft......
 
Yeah..the stock foams are good for like 6lbs and under...im running a stiff single stage foam in my clone scaler..in another set i have on a scaler thats about 5.5 im runnin the stock dual stage...i know a few guys have tried different dual stages with good success..im sure others will post up
 
My SCX-10 is right @ 6.8 lbs fully loaded, and even it was too heavy for the stock foams. i contacted Eddie @ Crawler Innovations, and he recommended the Lil' Nova dual stage foams in 4.25" w/ firm inner, soft outer on tthe front, and firm inner, and medium outer on the rears...

Lil' Nova 1.9 Dual Stage 4.25T Foam Pair (2)

the tires work much better now, with minimal tire fold on side hills..."thumbsup"
 
My Bronco is light at 6.2lbs and stock is fine. My Tundra is 6-14oz and it needs more foam. I put some RC4WD foam from my rock hard IROKS and it is better. I see Eddy is coming up with some water resistant foam that looks promising...
 
My SCX is a tick of 6lb and I thought the stock foams offered way to little lateral support.

Now running Crawlerinnovations firm inners soft outers all around with good results.

For your heavier truck you'd want the medium outers. And maybe a tuning ring as well depending on how wide your wheels are.
 
Does everyone have their wheels vented? I was wondering if the stock foams would work with a sealed wheel set up?
I'm pretty sure Santa is bringing me a set of Pit Bulls and some aluminum bead locks. I was thinking of trying them without venting first. It took days to dry out my memory foams last time they got wet.
 
I have been using an oversized firm inner and the stock outer with great success. I do not have them vented at all."thumbsup"
